Coercion plscreditlng Itself.
From the New York Tribune.


The tory policy in Ireland appears to
be producing fruits after its kind even
more quickly than was expected. Possibly
the confidence of tbs projectors rested on
the sumption that the suppression of
the league would be unresisted, and that
the making of a solitude and calling it
peace would thus be merely matter for
audaciiy AID persistence. The Mitchels
town slaughter, however, has had so many
and untoward consequences, and the at.
tempts to gag O'Brien and others have re-
suited in such Illuminating failure, that the
alternatives now presented to the
government arc equally disagree
able ard dangerous. They may
increase the force of the repressive
machinery; or they may abandon the pro-
gramiue Of coercion; but in neither event
can they expect anything but discredit
The refusal of the league to be suppressed
and the persistence of O'Brien in making
incendiary speeches after his arrest are
incidents well calculated to perplex and
embarass both the Irish executive and the
English government. The former, indeed,
seems to have been the first to perceive
the awkward implications of coercion and
to have shown some disposition to modify
the programme an Indication which in
staltly exposed him TO the animadversion
of the "thorough" statesmen in London,
and the Irish landlords i'll the island.
But it is much easier to abuse the Irish
executive forrot making a success out of

EVICTION IN IOWA.
Story of Horrible Cruelties on Settlers by
British Syndicate.

NEw YORK, October A Washington
special says; "The general land Office is
in receipt of information that British
syndicate, which is said to have purchased
a large tract of land in Iowa, from the
McGregor Western railway, is merciIessly
evicting settlers, the title to the land being
in dispute in the state courts"
settler writes: "a woman over 60
years of age, sick in bed, had been taken
by six men and carried out into driving
storm; delicate women have had their hands
tied with cords till their flesh was bruised
and then dragged shrieking from their
home; children have been born
prematurely at sight of band of evictors.
Strong men have been run down by ruff
fans on horseback, and then handcuffed
and driven from their little possessions.
l might go on and multiply instances
where the sheriff, with writ of ejectment
in one hand and British contract in the
other, gave these poor people their choice
between two evils, which they would take"
Afidavits of cruelties practiced are be-
ing collected, says the writer, for use at
Washington next winter, and will be read
in both houses of congress. They are ex-
pected to create sensation when the peo-
pie of the east are brought fully to realize
what native American pioneers are suffer
ing at the hands of new invaders.

coercion than to show how coercion can
be made success. Our cable dispatches
this morning intimate that Mr.. Balfour
has at last made up his mind to give the
policy thorough test, to the extent even OF
bringing on civil war. From present
appearances that condition of things is
not very far off now. In the recent evic
tions there has been practically issue
joined between the Irish people and the
constabulary and troops. Occasional re-
sistsnce, of course, there has always been
but now the resistance is becoming sys-
tematic and organized. If the law as it
stands is to be enforced against the will of
the Irish, and if the Irish speakers are to be
silenced at any cost, il looks as if there
might have to be very long bill to pay
for satisfying the sentiment. Perhaps
there is little room for doubt, as to the
ultimate ability of the government to
crush out resistance, but if all the military
power Of the united kingdom has to be
invoked, the question how much dragoon
ing in Ireland the English people will
permit, must be faced and answered; and
that question is more certain every day
to involve the tories in ruin. OF course,
they may attempt, in the last resort, to
save themselves by giving up coercion;
but that would be confession of in
competency, insuring their dismissal
quite as certainly as the collapse of the
force programme through its Inherent
weakness. If Mr.. Balfour has been
correctly reported, however, he
will bling the issue to prompt
determination, one way or the other.

THE STATE ORPHAN ASYLUM
The Commissioners Select Corsl-
cana for Its L ocatlor.


The commissioners to locate the state
orphan asylum made their selection yes
terday, and presented a majority and
minority report to the governor. AS will
be seen, Corsicana is selected.
1t is understood that there was no little
wranglirg between the commissioners on
account of Mr.. Oliver holding out very
strenuously for either Pilot Point, which
is his own town, or Alvarado or Bolton,
neither of which places the other commits
sioners considered fairly prominent in
the competition. He finally, however,
made the concession expressed in his
minority report.
The majority report is as follows:
Hon. L. S. Ross, Governor, AUSTIN Texas
Dear Sir-The undersigned, appointed
by You commissioners to select site
for the state orphan asylum provided for
in the act approved April T. 1887, have
the honor to report that they met and or
ganized on the 18th of last August; i'm
mediately, through five of the principal
newspapers published in different sections
OF the state, invited the towns therein
to compete for the location of the asylum,
as contemplated by said act, and on the
next day began personal inspection of
and inquiry into the advantages and
claims of such of the towns and cities, as
they had been and were afterwards by
letter, telegram, or through committees
of citizens appointed for the purpose,
advised would compete for the loca-
ton of the asylum. In the order named
they visited Pilot Point, Denton, Fort
Worth, Cranberry, Weatherford, Alvarado,
Dallas, Terrell, Plano, Sherman, Bonham,
Paris, Blossom Prairie, Palestine, Tyler,
COrsicana, Waco, Temple, Bolton, Lam
pasas, Santa Anna, Brennan, Cuero, San
Antonio, San Marcos and Austin.
They made careful inquiry into
the advantages, specified by said
act to be taken into consideration,
possessed by each of the places named,
kindly aided by courteous citizens in their
endeavor to obtain such information as
was needed in connection with a personal
inspection of the towns and their sur
From such inspection and
information, after careful CON
the commissioners are
of the opinion that the town
of Corsicana, in the county of
Navarro, possessing the combined re-
quisites of accessibility by railroad,
health and fertility of soil," is the most
suitable site for the location of the asy-
lum, and believing that the best interests
of the state will be subserN ed by it's loca-
ton there, under the authority of said act
they select and designate said Corsicana
as the site for the State Orphan asylum.
j. E. LABATT,
Chairman.
II. @. CLEANER.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1887-10-06
Respectfully submitted.
So Corsicana wins the prize.

The CorsIcana bid for the location, en-
braced 1872 acres of prairie land and 80
acres of timber land, of which, as much
as may not be needed for the asylum will
be taken back at from 500 to $3.50 per
acre. This, in connection with the fact
that the Waco offer embraced black heavy
land, more suitable for heavy farming
work than the light work adapted to the
labor of the orphans, was an important
consideration with the commissioners in
turning their decision in favor of Corsi-
cana.

MINORITY REPORT.

His Excellency Governor Ross:
The undersigned commissioner to locate
the state orphan asylum, with due regard tC
the honorable commissioners above sci
forth, as we'll as to Corsic ana, would most
respectfully set forth that he cannot con-
cur in the foregoing selection as against
Pilot Point, in the final ballot, for the fol
lowing sacred and unselfish reasons:
First-That north Texas, in point of
taxable values and population, bears the
largest burden of the state government,
and has not one single institution of the
state.
Second-Corsicana is within the space
of one county on the east to Rusk peni-
tentiary and on the west within one and a
half counties of the state reformatory.
Third-The chosen location is upon an
adjoining tract of land, and the contem-
plated site within few hundred yards of
the already established State Orphans
Home of the Independent Or
der of Odd Fellows, which
will surely conflict in local privileges and
public sympathies and charities which be-
long wholly to this state orphan asylum,
Fourth and lastly-In an offered COM
promise between Alvarado, Denton or
Pilot Point, in the latter we claim altitude
over Corsicana of 2l6 feet, with building
stone and the 1874 acre donation,
worth $100,000,amid health unsurpassed,
free from fear of future contagion, and
upon the bosom of the best farming and
horticultural section of the state. Yet,
lnasmuch as the board, in its organiza-
tion agreed that majority, or two,
should be legal and final IN its decisions,
we waive any claim touching the legality
